Is buying a refurbished computer a good idea?


Many people wonder if buying a refurbished computer instead of a brand new one is a smart move or a risk.

Here are several reasons refurbished computers might be right for you:

1 – It saves you money. Choosing a refurb instead of springing for a new PC can save you anywhere from 20% to 80% off the RRP of a new computer.

2 – The quality and reliability of PCs from an official Microsoft Approved Refurbisher (MAR) means that you are purchasing a tier one branded product for a fraction of its original cost.

3 - Most computers aren’t passed on to be refurbished because they are defective, but simply because they have been replaced by a slightly newer model.

4 – All refurbished systems, including those that are indeed returned due to a real problem, are cleaned, thoroughly tested and given any necessary repairs or upgrades before being offered for re-sale. In fact, the risk of receiving a defective refurbished unit is actually lower than the risk of receiving a defective new one due to the extra testing and checks refurbished equipment is subjected to.

5 – Refurbished computers frequently come with a warranty period just as with a brand new one. So should a problem you'll have the same secure cover as you would with a brand new PC.
